2. Tripit

Tripit offers a unique service by automatically turning travel email confirmations into a complete and neat itinerary.

What is it? A revolutionary travel organisation app.

Why is it so good? Tripit is pretty remarkable in that it finds all the important details of your travels and extracts them for you while you're in a rush trying to pack. The app organises the details into separate trips, and each trip lists your details in consecutive order.

3. Instapaper

Have you ever been stuck for things to do while on a plane, because everything you usually do involves internet? Instapaper's your guy.

What is it?Instapaper allows you to save information that you wouldn't otherwise be able to read on a plane (i.e. stuff that needs internet), and then you can access them later.

Why is it so good? Instapaper allows you to highlight texts, uses a variety of fonts in reader view, lets you follow other users and see their recommended articles, organises articles into folders, and syncs with Kindles.
